After the so called Derby weekends Bristol Bears had a bit of a trip to North London. That brought Max Malins back home, but he wouldn’t be facing Ben Earl sadly after he picked up an injury before the Quins game. I’m going to start with a scrum as there was an early one, Ellie … More Saracens v Bristol Bears
I’m coming to this a day late, having decided to watch the women in their first league game, and they did not disappoint! This was billed as the Derby weekend and with Quins and Saracens the only teams left flying the flag this was clearly one such. TNT as it’s now known seemed intent on … More Harlequins v Saracens
A new season for the Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby competition and the league sees 2 new teams enter, being Ealing Trailfinders and Leicester Tigers Women, it’s also seen Worceyster Women removed from the competition. There is also a new TV ‘deal’ for the league with TNT showing games. With that in mind I was shocked … More Saracens Women v Loughborough Lightning
Having enjoyed my first visit to Kingston Park in 2022 I was keen to repeat the experience. I’d booked the posh hospitality previously, but bought a ticket for £30 in the West Stand for this one. I then got a call from the team at Falcons to offer street food hospitality for £24, it was … More Newcastle Falcons v Saracens
There was some controversy in the build up to this match as the Saracens team was loaded with the returning England players. Tigers hadn’t gone that route but had a decent team out nonetheless. With one Mike Brown at 15. We had an early look at Ben Earl storming down the wing, he passed to … More Saracens v Leicester Tigers
A combination of my daughter visiting from Paris and flying back on the day of the match and the World Cup Bronze match meant this was one I’m watching on catch up on Sunday afternoon. The worst start to the season for Saracens for 15 years and a Friday night at Kinhsholm felt a worrying … More Gloucester Rugby v Saracens
I travelled to Stonex with some trepidation after last weeks match at Exeter, Bath Rugby and Finn Russell, gave a frisson of excitement, but fear too! Russell can be imperious or he can have a kick charged down by Andy Christie who has speed to burn! He scored with 2 minutes on the clock, Alex … More Saracens v Bath Rugby
The first Premiership match of the season for both teams saw a great start for Exeter, an unusual knock on at the kick of by Nick Isekwie saw a scrum put in for Exeter, Saracens won a free kick but Exeter absolutely made the most of the ball kicked back to them, they were helped … More Exeter Chiefs v Saracens
My view for this one is from the East Stand, the only stand open for the game. This competition doesn’t seem to have captured the imagination or interest of the home fans. It makes sense to have one full stand rather than 4 sparsely occupied, however having paid £800 for a season ticket I’d rather … More Saracens v Hartpury RFC – The Premiership Rugby Cup
As we approach the start of the Premiership Rugby season proper those teams who’ve played this competition in the orginal spirit it was intended for have strengthened their teams, understandably with no warm up games for the intended main teams. The line ups for this match is as follows, I had to look up a … More Harlequins v Saracens – The Premiership Rugby Cup
